Oktoberfest in Munich and the Wasen here in Stuttgart are just around the corner and I’m happy to share one of my favorite Dirndl dresses for this season. The new dirndl collection from Stefanie Giesinger by Krüger Dirndlis out now.

She designed five really cute dirndl dresses for the "MADL"-collection and this red one is my personal favorite. Dirndl dresses are a must for every Oktoberfest or Wasen visit, but did you know that the side on which the Dirndl apron is tied indicates the marital status of women? It is always good to pass on a tradition but this one could easily lead to some misunderstandings and unwanted flirtation attempts ;-). So here comes a small guide for you to avoid unintentional flirtation:

Dirndl apron bow on the left side- single

Dirndl apron bow on the right side -taken

Dirndl apron bow in the middle -I'm a virgin

Dirndl apron bow in the back-I´m a widow or a waitress

What to you think of the Oktoberfest / Wasen? Do you avoid public festivals or do you looking foward to have a great time at your favorite festival? And how do you like my Dirndl dress? Just let me know in the comments below.
